A DANGEROUS BED.
Alvln Setzer Lay Down on the Culm
Dump at the Pine Brook and
Was Suffocated.
The body of Alvln Setzer, who has
been living with his sister on Gordon
stteet, wns found lying yesterday
morning on the culm dump of the Pine
Hrook millet y, he having evidently laid
down to slee: on the dump nnd be
come oveieome by the sulphutoils gas
arising from the culm.
The unfortunate man had not been
working tecently, nnd has been living
with his sister, Mrs. Maty Kiddle, on
Gordon street. He left home on Mon
day evening, between 7 nnd S o'clock,
appaiently feeling eiy well
Yesterday morning about 7 o'clock,
C.eoige Ash. who lives In the vicinity,
noticed a man lying on the dump. He
nt (list thought him asleep, but after
shaking him seveial times, discoveied
that he was dead I'ndortaker Hartett
was notified, and the remains were
taken to his establishment.
A crowd of persons quickly gatheied
and though many tewed tho remains,
none were able to make a positive Iden
tification. Several, however, thought It
might be Set7er, and his sister was ac
cordingly notified, and when she ar
rived at the undertakers she Immedi
ately Identified the body ns that of her
brother.
The general belief Is that Setzer be
came Intoxicated, and while wandei
ing about, noticed the warmth of the
dump and lav down and fell asleep
The place selected was wheie theie Is
a hollow between two mounds of culm.
A few feet away a llerce lire Is con
stantly burning and the culm on which
he lay was exceedingly hot.
Coroner Robetts was notified and h
made an Investigation In the aftei -noon.
Ho found the under patt of the
body to bo fearfully binned, but thinks
that he was suffocated before the burns
weie lecelved. He decided that an In
quest was unneiessaiy.
Tho deceased was thirty-nine years
old, and was unman led. He is sur
vived by his mother and tluee slsteis.
as follows- Mis. Maty Kiddle, of
Rcranton; Mrs. I-ouls Lannlng.of Tren

OPINIONS IN TWO
IMPORTANT CASES
THEY WERE HANDED DOWN BY
JUDGE n. M. EDWARDS.
Reasons Why n Now Tilal Was Re
fused Mrs. Alonzo Reynolds Who
Was Convicted of Forgery Court
Refuses to Allow the Case of tho
Noith End Luwber Company
Against A. P. O'Douncll to Be Re
nted -Points Raised by Defendant
Are Refused.
Ueluw Is the full text of the opinion
handed down Monday by Judge II. M.
ldwuids In the ease of the Common
wealth against Mis. Alonzo Reynolds.
Mrs. Reynolds wns convicted of for
get y and an application made fot u
new trial. It was refused by Judge
1M wards la the following opinion;
The defendant is a married woman
The cointnoi wealth claims that la tho
month of Match, lsiy, shu went to tho
l.aikawanna Trust and Snfo Deposit
Company bank with her husband's bank
book In her possession. Tho money wns
deposited in her husbands name. She
informed the teller that she wanted fitly
dollars. He told her It was necessary to
reeure lur husbands nnmo to a receipt
oi voucher before she could draw tho
monc. The teller wrote a teceipt and
gave it to the defendant. She then left
tho bnnk and In about ten minutes re
turned with her husband's nnme signed
tu the receipt Tho money was then paid
to the defendant, she endorsing tho
vouiiut.
On thn tilil the defendant denied tho
whole trnnsm tlou and Intiodueed evi
dence to establish nn alibi. Tho Jury be
lieved the tcstlmon of the common
wealth and eonvictcd tho defendant
Thero Is no complaint os to the admission
ot rejection of evidence, nor as to lin
ings of lav except on tho one mala con
tention that a married woman In forging
her husband s name Is not guilty of a
criminal offence
BASIS OK CONTENTION.
The sole gioiind on which this conten
tion Is based Is the common law doe
tilne of the unity of a husband and wile,
thill interests and rights being so legally
blended th.it ono cannot commit a crlmo
against the propel ty of tho other Ju
dicial utterances and propositions laid
down bv writers of text books In regard
to this question aie generally tonllmd
to the offi nee of larceny. Sir William
Ilussell (1 Hussell on Crimes, star page
11) states the doctrine thus. "A fame
covert is not guilty en iciony 111 stealing
her husband b goods, because a husband
uml wife ure considered but one perso-i
In liw, nnd thu husband by endowing
his wife at tho mat rlnge with all his
worldlj goods gives her a kind of Inter
est In them: for which 1 auso even a
stranger ennnot commit limeny In taking
tho goods of the husband by the delivery
of the wife as he mnv be taking away
the wife by fore and against her will,
logethti with the mods of ihe husband "
Wharton and Ilishop endorse the same
pioposiiiuii.
We do not dispute the coriectness of
the law as tints slated. Nor do we think
tli.it out late enbilglng statutes in illa
tion to the lights of married women
have effected any change in the common
law piinilpte as to this question The
dltlienltv in tile e i-e at b ir is that the
pilnelple Is pot applicable to the facts of
the case. The pioporty obtained bv the
defendant bj means ot the fotgery was
the piopcrtv of the bank and not the
piopertv of her husband. The bank Is
liable to the lmb mil lot the money ob
tained bv the wile. The mere statemeat
of this piopositlon Is a sulllclent answer
to the claim of defendant's counsel In this

Tho constitutionality of this net of as

An stated In yesterday's Tribune, It
Is the duty of the nianutactuter of
oleomargerlne to label every package
sent out In a specified way and place
upon It a ta stamp. The- retailer who
disposes of It In smaller packages must
label these "ideomargorlm?" In con
spicuous characteis, display a sign In
his business place announeinc that he
sells oleo unci pay a special levenue 1
license for the ptlvllego of selling the
stuff, just as 11 liquor dealer Is ic
qulied to pay for the privilege ot sell
ing Intoxicants. A further piovislon
of the law Is that wholesalers, manu
facturers or others selling to the retail
Hade or to consumtts must notify the
levenup collector of every package dis
posed of In his district, returning un
der oath the name of tho purchaser
and his chess nnd the quantity eC the
puichnse.
nVADH THH LAW.
Tt would seem that with all these
j piecnutlons and safeguards It would
I be next to Impossible to safely evade
' the law. The opposite, however, Is
the e'ase. The law Is flagrantly vlo
I latid In a wholesale manner and,
though there Is no end of evidence
telling of this It Is a matter of the
gieatest difficulty to feitet out the vio
lators. The lnanufactuier In Indiana, for
1 example, sells a case of oleo to a local
1 w holesaler.
